NPR this morning -- anyone else hear it?

[IdaBriggs]

What's up with them -- suddenly they are showing (what's the word?) -- oh, yes: REALITY.

They played pieces of the "Question and Answer" session yesterday, including the complete DISASTER that was his response to the first question: "Do you believe Iraq is part of the plan leading to Armageddon?"

After much "um, duh, ah" type of hemming and hawing, he finally said, "I've never heard THAT before."

HELLO! Does he not SPEAK OR LISTEN to his whack job base? They've been blathering on about this FOR THREE YEARS.

It was a thing of beauty. His true moronic nature was on display.

My favorite bits on the website:

For nearly an hour, President Bush took unscripted questions from the audience at the City Club. Hear excerpts from that question-and-answer session:

An audience member asks President Bush how, in light of faulty prewar intelligence on Iraq, Americans can regain confidence in their leaders. The president responds. (Ida Note: Really Badly!!!)

In response to a question on the NSA's warrantless domestic wiretapping, the president says 'we're going to keep doing it.'

The president answers a question regarding his plans for immigration reform. He calls for tightening border security and establishing a guest worker program but no amnesty for illegal immigrants.

1. I heard it, and also heard propaganda on NPR

this morning when Bush spoke about the town in Iraq, Tal Afar, that he said was doing so well. The myth of this was completely exposed almost immediately, as the town still has serious problems with insurgents.

3. They are showing Bush and his cabal to be the liars we know they are. nt

4. Actually, that Iraqi town and the rest of Iraq have "serious....

...problems" with a foreign army that illegally and immorally invaded them three years ago.

All other problems in Iraq stem directly from that invasion.

5. That's the beauty of it all of a sudden -- previously, they would

have let the propaganda stand unchallenged! Now they are bluntly showing "Bush Lie" versus "Reality."

I'm stunned. And happy! Yeah, NPR!!!

Anyone know what changed?

2. I heard it yesterday on Lou Dobbs. He and author Kevin Phillips

(author of American Theocracy) were talking about how Bush denies hearing that, and then spends five minutes talking about it "when a simple yes or no would have sufficed," is what Dobbs said.

BTW, Monday morning NPR had an excellent timeline with recorded segments of al the "players" over the last three years about the lead-up to the war , the pre-war controversy about WMD, and the invasion. Very useful information.

6. I hope Iraq is part of the plan leading to armageddon.

That way when all the conditions are finally met and god DOESNT crack the sky open and DOESNT send us one way or another the wacko christians will finally and forever be proven WRONG and the silly book they rely so much will be what it is; just a FANTASY.
If Jesus is going to judges us then PROVE IT!!!!!!

7. What scares me is that an H-bomb does a pretty good job of

"crackling the sky".

Like the mad colonel from "Dr Strangelove" there are a great many fanatics who would unleash nuclear holocaust and call it God's judgement.
